This recording is a laboratory reconstruction of the sounds heard by a microphone on the Huygens probe as it descended to Titan's surface. Several sounds, taken at different times during the descent, are combined and give a realistic reproduction of what a traveler on board Huygens would have heard during one minute of the descent through Titan's atmosphere.
